Windows 10: GMail account in MAIL showing incorrect name.

I have added a g mail account to my Mail app and it seems to be working well sending and receiving except for one minor problem. When i send emails from this account, it shows up in the recipient's inbox as coming from a completely different name even though the email address is showing correctly. I can't find out where this name is linked to the email account to change it. Any suggestions?

Mail not showing "send mail as" name for gmail accounts

I use two gmail accounts and each has a "send mail as" name specified, meaning when I send an e-mail, the recipient will see the sender as being the name I specified, rather than just my e-mail address.

When I send mail from gmail, this works, but when I send mail from gmail via Mail it always just shows the e-mail address, not the name.

On the other hand, all hotmail accounts I use show the name fine.

I checked in manage accounts->change mailbox sync settings and both accounts have "send your messages using this name" specified correctly, but the name still doesn't show.

Anyone know how to fix this?

 

Can anyone tell me how to delete these accounts from GMail ?

I found links that look like what I have on my gmail account with the other gmail accounts added. There are pictures and explanations.
